Additional quotes by Jacques Prévert

Yo te saludo
Fénix vigoroso
y te nombro
Presidente de la Verdadera República de los Pájaros
y te regalo por adelantado
la colilla de mi vida
para que tú renazcas
cuando yo muera
de las cenizas del que fue tu amigo.

Jedna naranča na stolu
Tvoja haljina na podu
A ti u mojem krevetu
Sladak dar trenutka
Svježina noći
Toplina mojega života.

It's terrible
the faint sound of a hard boiled egg firmly cracked on a tin counter
it's terrible this faint sound
when it stirs the memory of a starving man
